Below is some information from my visit to my Canadian Chanel counter:

• 4 mascaras will be released in Canada. My SA suggested applying colour on the outer lashes as an accent.
• The Les Beiges Teint Belle Mine foundation release will expand the shade range to 42 shades. The new shades focus on olive and darker skintones.
• There are 4 body oils released. In Canada, these will be at Holt Renfrew and Chanel boutiques but not at Shoppers Beauty Boutique.
• There is a Chance soap release and a Hydra Beauty lip serum release.
• The single eyeshadows are in the permanent range. I heard that two shades are LE but my SA didn't see any marked LE in her release info.

Single eyeshadow swatches from Sara ElBaff and her Chanel SA.

[Sunnysmom]

I was able to see all of the shadows and new Glow powders yesterday and they’re lovely @TraceyEB ! My SA provided these swatches and they’re very accurate. She also told me to think about the powders not so much as bronzer separately vs the powder idea which makes sense. Swirling together is very pretty!  The shadows are very buttery satiny and slightly different in tone from other singles. (Talpa for example as I have the older one and it’s a little darker and not as satiny as the new.) FYI if anybody wants to see them in outside sun. 🙂 Also noticed that NM has the powders on counter. 😊

@Sunnysmom, these swatches are spectacular! Thank your SA for providing them in natural light! I watched a video by Tania B Wells where she shows a look using the medium rose gold palette where she swirled all the shades together and then applied all over the face and it looked lovely on her. Swirling all the shades together is something I don't do, or think to do, so that's a novel way to look at these palettes. When I see the rose blush and the deeper highlighter, I'm reminded of Wayne Goss' Bright Poppy blush palette that has a bright poppy pink blush and a golden copper highlighter. Wayne suggested mixing the shades and anyone can wear it with a light hand and he was right!! I was also thinking about the Tom Ford Soleil Contouring palettes that had a similar stacking of bronzer, blush, and highlighter and was matte vs this luminous Les Beiges release. Did you pick up one of the bronzer compacts and/or single eyeshadows?

[Sunnysmom]

Will do @TraceyEB ! 🥰  I love this particular boutique because it’s almost all natural light too. Sometimes it’s even tricky to see shades properly because of it! Lol. That’s a great idea to do with WG’s! Think I did get that one as well. Hmm. Where is she. 😆 Yes the good news with the colors in the new Glow palettes is how they are so soft and not that intense so they really can be built up or done very subtly. Love that. I ended up with the Medium Rose Gold and Quartz Fumé single. I use Talpa a ton already so when I hit pan I will replace it with the new one for sure. It’s a perfect neutral everyday for me. I’m just not an adventuress for the other shades though they’re so fun! Also phew. Lol. ( I still love Deep Mauve and would love to get that to use for blush as it’s so good. Ugh. But the center shade is quite muddy for anyone as my SA pointed out as well. So for now money saved!! Wish it was a single! Maybe they’ll listen to us. ☺️ With the prices of everything so high these days it’s definitely time for me to be more cautious with my pennies!! ) What are you picking up?! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, you're lucky to have a Chanel boutique with beautiful natural light. I love your choices and your restraint! I hope you enjoy the medium rose palette and quartz fume! I'm going to a Chanel counter tomorrow to put in my pre-order and I hope to see the Les Beiges Glow palettes in person (though they don't officially launch in Canada until May 1). I'm thinking about 1-2 single eyeshadows and like the look of Brun Fauve and maybe the lime green eyeshadow. I also love the Talpa shade from the original release, so happy there's an updated replacement! I'd probably buy more of the Les Beiges Glow if the compacts were smaller and would have preferred a range of blush/highlighter duos because Chanel bronzer shades don't suit me well (the closest is the cream blush in shade 20). Will connect back after I've been to the counter! ☀️

@TraceyEB @Sunnysmom  My SA forgot to ring me up. Now I wonder should I give her a nudge or just pull out the TF Soleil one. 😂🤣 I have 3 of the TF Soleil. They all look spanking new as I check today. Hoard but don’t used seems liked. 😂🤣 Honestly the glow face palettes all look lovely. It’s really hard to chose 

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014, you have 3 barely used TF Soleil Contour palettes?! I've been working on The Afternooner palette for years because those palettes have almost 21g of product (the Chanel XL palettes have 15g). On the other hand, the TF Soleil bronzer and blush is a matte formula vs. Chanel's glowy formula. The Chanel palettes look a little different on every skin tone, so I vacillate between palettes. Decisions, decisions! 😂

[blackkitty2014]

So I looked again @TraceyEB . This time with everything open up. I have 2 TF Soleil palette and 1 eye face palettes called Pink Glow and probably another one with the blue (forgot what it called and (not sure if you remember them😂). But the Afternooner reminds me of Medium Coral so Medium Coral should be out of my wish list 😘 

[TraceyEB]

@blackkitty2014 @Sunnysmom, I'm back from a visit to the Chanel counter. I pre-ordered the Medium Rose Gold and the Deep Mauve palettes. When I swatched the blush in the Deep Mauve palette, I gasped at how pigmented it was - a stunning raspberry shade. Below is a picture of me wearing the raspberry shade high on the cheekbone over Rose Polaire blush. Forgive me that I applied and blended it with my hands. My SA said the middle shade could be worn as an eyeshadow. She also agreed that TF's The Afternooner palette would be duplicated by the Medium Coral palette. I only wish the compacts were small like the testers - I would have purchased three!

[Sunnysmom]

Oh how fun @TraceyEB , yay! Sounds like you had a fun experience! It looks beautiful and uplifting on you! That is a terrific idea to use the center as a shadow!! Uh oh. I would really to have Deep Mauve bec I just loved the raspberry shade too! Sooo pigmented and satiny! Def a decision to think about! So don’t give me too much credit yet! 🥺😆  I wish they were smaller too. I think these could be permanent items or maybe revamp them a bit/ smaller compact size.

Aren’t the shadows fun?! So buttery! I would kind of like to have the dark Noir grey black for fun. 🙃 The mascaras are pretty wild. Not for me but cool. Did your SA also mention details on the new lips in 31 Le Rouge coming next month? Mine threw out that bone as I was leaving!! 🤣😭 New shades in a more matte formula I guess! Always something…!! Enjoy your new goodies when they arrive! 🥰

Wow, gorgeous, @TraceyEB !  Thanks for sharing!

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you for posting @TraceyEB. That Rose Polarie looks so good on you. I might pick up Medium Rose after all 😘

[Sunnysmom]

Oh man @blackkitty2014 ! She forgot?! I went through my stash yesterday too in a true effort to weed some old stuff out and remind myself to use some favorites. I know we all have bought a lot of beauties. Plus they’re ginormous for the most part! I don’t have the TF you do but I am guilty of having several Chanel! Will be fun to hear what you decide! ☺️

[Titian06]

Thank you and your SA for these great swatches, @Sunnysmom ! 💖💖💖

[Sunnysmom]

She’s the sweetest, will do @Titian06 ! 🥰 The Glow Powders are very satiny by the way! Very similar to the holiday blushes! Lovely!

[blackkitty2014]

Thx @Mochapj . Are you planning to pick up any?

[Mochapj]

@blackkitty2014  I don’t think so. None of the shades really do it for me. I might pick up one of the mascaras though, as the rusty one definitely caught my eye.
